Monk Parrots Noah Ras

The Quaker Parrot also known as the Monk Parakeet is a native of South America and is actually found in large feral colonies in North America. Some states consider them pests due to their destructive tendencies in the wild and have outlawed them. If you are interested in getting a Quaker Parrot for your home, make sure that it is legal in your state. The Quaker Parrot gets their name from their unusual behavior which looks like they are quaking and shaking. In reality this head bobbing and shaking behavior is quite normal. Their coloration and size means the Quaker bird is often confused with the Conure.
